I don't doubt it mate, but it is hard to fuck up fried potatoes with a sprinkling of salt......there again, when I eat our chips In England.....

Not too many backpackers here mate!

Agreed, going back there is like putting on an old pair of slippers....it's old fashioned ways are part of it's charm. I took the best suite they had last time as it was ridiculously cheap and not much more than one of the executive rooms.....in truth it was still decades behind the one I had at Citrus suites, but as you say the location is the best you will get, and reception and security have seen every single kind walk through them doors....nobody bats an eyelid....I look forward to returning soon. You know what, as I think about it, I believe that Nana use it's dated old fashioned persona to attract a target guest.....single traveller, 50+, with one sole intention of sleeping, eating, and Mongering.....I guess that's me and a load more besides!......Millennials, generation X, package tourists and ex Hotel inspectors should probably look elsewhere.

I love Indian food and in England we are spoilt for choice, but I have to say I have no craving for it in LOS...I'm sure there must be one or two decent Indian's in Bangkok but with Thai curries and all the other spicy dishes i really can live without it when I'm there.

Jeez....you can also get run over crossing the road....don't over think things.....we spend days, months, years debating on LOS trips why on earth would you want to restrict /challenge yourself over baggage.

Agreed. intrigue got me inside, all the usual tricks and then a Thai couple done a fuck show as the finale....turned up in their dressing gowns straight from the bar two doors along!....Most of this stuff was on the first floor level and some of the places were very dubious and would look to hoodwink newbies. The ladies doing the show and also most in the bar were definitely lower end talent....also, the candle wax shows that you still see around never done anything for me.

I think the heady days in the 80s and 90s when anything and everything happened in Patpong have all but gone now.

All of the North of Thailand is worthy of a visit and time spent, a whistle stop day tour just to see a temple feels a bit rushed. Is there no opportunity in the future where you can take a proper trip up North as it's worth it. Mongering is best spent in BKK and Pattaya but the North is often where you get to see true Thailand.

I am pretty sure if you have no proof of vaccination then you need to do mandatory 10 days (?) in a designated SHA hotel with their testing requirements. Get yourself vaccinated is the best advice.

Feel free to add any experiences you may have had. There is a huge amount of good information here that should interest you.

If you want to keep that smile going check out the prices of some of the premium Hotels in BKK!

He is indeed mate.

A good friend of mine is finally able to now have some spare time to spend with his family after a very intense 4 months on the Covid wards, he said that at it's peak it was 50/50 as to whether they could treat and cope with patients, he said it has aged him and he is mentally and physically drained...I guess the 1.5% pay rise offered by the Government will help ease the burden then!! Disgraceful and disrespectful springs to mind.

I know things have really flared up in France and most of Europe, I wish you the best of luck and sincerely hope the bastard disease is brought under control as soon as possible. When you do get a chance to return to LOS I think you will have definitely earned a bit of quality Mongering...respect!

I really enjoy both the advanced and public sector of the pats site, there is loads of info that also covers BKK as well. I have always found the vast majority there to be a decent bunch .

Not sure if the moderator is still around to consider your request...the sister forum are suggesting he is AWOL. There is hardly any traffic on here anymore so I don't suppose there is much being said in the advanced section, unless looking at bars and girls from the past who are no longer around is your thing. Still, I am sure things will improve and old advanced members will return again.

I don't think you can assume this, the only time the ban gets lifted is when us and the Thai's have vaccinated enough of the people. Thailand can be extremely stubborn and often dig there heels in further the more pressure is put on them...to relent is to lose face. Best chance of a visit with minimum restrictions looks like Q4....providing of course you are able to purchase an overly priced highly sought airline ticket.

I am sure they will not have an ounce of sympathy for your request, whereas quite frankly they should be ashamedly expediting the process!

I am sure you are right on this regarding British credit cards, it wouldn't provide the same refundable cover on Debit cards.

Just wandered if anyone has been brave enough to try the crispy fried crickets? Late one evening at Why Not Creamy said she was hungry and there was some food she wanted on the cart outside, feeling generous I gave her some money and said bring me whatever your having. What she brought back was a plate of critters with some salad bits and crispy pork skin....even in my pissed up state there was no way I was going near that! Watching her munching on these could of been a passion killer but with her curvy ass anything is forgiven.

And I thought that just moving sideways was stupid enough!

Such a shame but I guess inevitable...a chunk of land in that location is never going to be occupied by small scale vendors for any length of time.

I noticed this back in February but it was much later in the evening at around midnight....seemed like a mixed bunch as well, not just girls from the bars.

Unbelievable isn't it....he has seven years of free wanking and only posts to complain!

North East is really suffering mate....anyway, on a positive front the Germans are back playing and if that goes well we will be close behind! I presume vanarama have declared the league void? Still find it shocking seeing Notts county, Hartlepool, and Barnet at this level now. Better times will come back and so will the beautiful game!
